Great day in Dominica

Anonymous, Mar 2023

Hubert and Tiffany were wonderful guides. Friendly, informative, answered all questions They went out if their way to make it a great day for ud

They always become...

Britta_K, Sep 2026

They always get irritated when you ask questions. In the cases where I didn't ask, I was missing some information that could have made my experience better. Guides must always annoy someone. The guide was unreliable. He didn't keep what he promised. I got water and beer, a good lunch, and advice from an Indian about how to remove quills from a wild hedgehog.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hej Britta, Jeg tror, der er opstået en misforståelse. Selvom der var en lille sprogbarriere, forstod jeg dig tydeligt under hele turen, og vi kommunikerede godt sammen. Jeg sørgede for, at du kunne komme ind i Kalinago-bageriet, selvom der var lukket, så du kunne se bageprocessen og tale med personalet. Du besøgte også Kalinago Barana Aute og gennemførte rundvisningen med den lokale guide. Vi talte om Kalinago-folkets historie, deres traditioner, religion og Kalinago-krigen. I alt fik du over fem timers guidet information. Jeg havde også forståelse for den skade, du havde pådraget dig fra et søpindsvin dagen før på en anden tur. Jeg forklarede, at alle vores ture er guidede, og at vi aldrig tillader gæster at snorkle på egen hånd. Jeg var på intet tidspunkt i løbet af dagen frustreret. Jeg tilbød dig drikkevarer, lokal øl og frokost. Da det begyndte at regne ved Emerald Pool, samlede jeg dit tøj op fra jorden for at holde det tørt, men du rev det ud af hænderne på mig og smed det ned igen. Det virkede til, at du var ked af eller vred over episoden med søpindsvinet, selvom den intet havde med vores tur at gøre. Jeg mener, du sagde, at jeg ikke holdt, hvad jeg havde lovet; måske hentydede du til taxaturen tilbage til lufthavnen. Jeg spurgte dig to gange om navnet på det sted, du skulle hen, og jeg kunne mærke, at du blev frustreret over mine spørgsmål. Du svarede, at du vidste, hvor du skulle hen, men du fortalte mig aldrig navnet. Jeg var nødt til at vide det for at kunne vælge den rigtige vej. "15 minutter fra lufthavnen" kunne være i hvilken som helst retning, og ofte passer tidsangivelsen ikke. Da jeg havde sat dig af, sagde du ikke engang tak eller virkede til at have en god oplevelse. Du smækkede med døren og gik væk, indtil jeg kaldte dig tilbage, fordi du havde glemt en personlig genstand i bilen. Du nævnte aldrig noget om taxaturen til stedet 15 minutter fra lufthavnen. Jeg er god til mange ting, men jeg kan ikke læse tanker.
